The Mermaid & the Dolphin was built in Galveston in 1866 by retiring Confederate General Lewis W. Carr. The home-turned-inn survived the 1900 hurricane without a scratch. Previous owners include former Texas Gov. Richard Coke, who bought the home in 1870. Today it serves as a bed-and-breakfast, wedding chapel and event center.
